Shops are acting weird nowadays.

First, I had a shop generated a few levels beyond dwarftown. Problem was I couldn't find it. Had no magic mapping, so I kicked every square of the wall of the whole level. Nothing. No message. Then I started zapping wand of digging. On second wave a passage opened to a shop. Shopkeeper was right there to welcome me. Tried kicking every square beside the entrance as well, yet no message. Anyone else had this?

Secondly, a book-shop came into sight in passage to HMV, around level 8. Outside the shop a book lay. Picking it up and retreating one step I find myself surrounded by thugs. Noticed to late the price tag on the book. But outside the shop? (plus there was some weird placing of books inside the shop + a couple arrows/doors - dunno). Anyone?

I've had the first very recently (and I know gut had the same thing not long ago). Never had a shop item generated outside a shop though - very odd.
Waldenbrook, the dwarven shopkeeper, mumbles: "I'd offer 9 gold pieces for yer dwarven child corpse."

Trap room generated in the same area as the shop or something?
You drop the golden ball.
You kick the golden ball. It slides to the west.

Some combination of an alarm trap, and some monsters capable of picking up books? Could a monster pick a book up, hear an alarm trap go off in the corridor, decide to fight alarm triggering monster, and get pwned by the shopkeeper just outside the shop?

Or maybe you are taking too many halucinatory drugs whilst playing adom?

Sometimes the shop generator screws up. I've had a few (3 or 4) shops with items outside the door and twice I've seen a shop where the shopkeeper didn't block the door when I picked up the item (he still said his message and moved, but to the side, not on the door).
A pessimist sees a dark tunnel.
An optimist sees a light at the end of that tunnel.
A realist sees a train.
And the train driver sees three idiots on the tracks.

Easiest kick-rob ever : )

Yes, I actually decided to save the game in which that happened to me, and stuck it on the official ADOM boards. I entitled it 'wanna go crazy', because that's exactly what I did, searching for that stupid shop : )
Put me in the 'fool filter', where I belong!
